Mock suspect gets taken down at fundraiser

Winnipeg police are hoping to put more officers in city schools in a bid to bring crime reduction and education resources to each of the 33,000 students in Manitoba’s largest urban school division.

In a report to be considered by a city council sub-committee today, the Winnipeg Police Service says it wants to hire three new officers to work with youth in schools in the city’s northwest, West End and Elmwood areas.

If the police proposal ultimately passes a full vote of council, there would be nine officers assigned to Winnipeg School

Division schools by the start of the 2012 school year.

Funding for the officers is costshared by the police and school division. “There is considerable support from schools, parent councils and the community where the (officer’s) role is to focus on the prevention, education and maintaining the peace in school and adjacent areas,� a report authorized by Winnipeg Police Service Chief Keith McCaskill said.

The School Resource Officer program has been in place for roughly a decade.

It began as a pilot project for schools in the city’s North End and has expanded to the downtown and some southern neighbourhoods since then.

City attempts living flag record Winnipeg might be headed for the record books this Canada Day as the Downtown BIZ attempts to break the record for the largest human flag.

Downtown BIZ executive director Stefano Grande said the BIZ needs more than 2,000 people dressed in white and red T-shirts to assemble the living flag by

11:15 a.m. at the Manitoba Legislative Building.

“There’s a bit of engineering to it,” said Grande.

“The most critical piece is giving out the appropriate number of red and white Tshirts.”

He also explained there are a number of trade secrets that will help volunteers assemble very quickly.

The current record of 2010 people was set in Victoria, B.C., last year. The BIZ is only aiming to add one more person to that record, but Grande hopes the living flag will grow into a tradition.

“Ultimately, we see this event gearing up for the huge nationwide celebration of Canada’s Sesquicen-

tennial, the 150th anniversary of Confederation, in 2017. Wouldn’t it be amazing if we build this event, year by year, to attract 10,000 people in 2017 to pose for a stunning photo — maybe even at Portage and Main?”

Entertainment and Tshirt distribution starts at 10 a.m., and the BIZ is also

giving away NHL tickets, a Tim Hortons-sponsored Raleigh mountain bike and other prizes.

As part of its Portage Live summer campaign to get people out of their offices, the BIZ has organized buskers, caricaturists and other entertainment throughout the summer.

A local hairstylist who finished school just a few months ago already has a major achievement under her scissors.

Holly Hui, 24, is a topfive finalist at the North American Hairstyling Awards in the student stylist category, and is the only Canadian to make the final cut in any category.

“The NAHAs are like the Grammys for hairstyling,” said Hui, who graduated from MC College’s hairstyling course in April.

In order to qualify, Hui had to come up with a theme and a design for her three models. She said she used the bright colours and feathers found in tropical birds as her inspiration.

“Think of it not only just, you’re doing hair, but think of things like foods, animals — things like that.”

After spending a whirl-

“Holly is unique and she sees things from a unique standpoint.”

SHAUNA KLUZ, ADMISSIONS ADVISER FOR MC COLLEGE

wind couple of days dying, cutting and styling, followed by a two-day photo shoot, the final shots were sent to the NAHAs for adjudication and selection.

While Hui’s results may not be what an everyday working girl would go for, her winning hairstyles are bold, angular and artistic, employing straight geometrics and many colours. Hui said she is currently working at Inspired Hair Design on McPhillips Street.

“I think she put who she is into this,” said Shauna Kluz, admissions advisor for MC College.

The awards will be held July 31. The entire hairstyling class from MC College will be making the trip to cheer Hui on.

Plans afoot for Route 90 fix

Heat. Wave

Traffic volume is expected to grow to 70,000 vehicles a day from 50,000 by 2030 JAMES TURNER

@METRONEWS.CA

Truckers and north-south commuters, take heart — public-works officials have tabled preliminary plans for widening Winnipeg’s Route 90 along trafficsnarled Kenaston Boulevard.

The introductory plans, which will be presented at city hall this week, call for upping the number of traffic lanes on alternating sides of Kenaston near Tuxedo Boulevard, along with widening the St. James bridges.

Council approval is needed so that publicworks officials can refine

the project and help the public and business owners make “informed decisions.”

The report cites Route 90 as one of Winnipeg’s busiest thoroughfares. Its “role in the movement of people and goods will expand with the developments such as the Waverley West neighbourhoods ... and the development of an inland port at (the airport),” it says.

Council approval will also allow officials to start negotiating with property owners whose land is needed to complete the project.

Costs have yet to be added to any capital budget. However, the estimated

cost of construction will hover around $129 million, officials said, including $100 million in modifications to the St. James bridges and $22 million for expropriations of private property.

Officials said the plans reflect public preference for a number of redesign options presented during citizen consultations in 2009.

Transit and active-transportation access to the area will also improve through the revamp, officials said. As a side benefit, there will also be fewer traffic headaches for people in east River Heights caused by motorists hunting for shortcuts.

Raising a gender-neutral society FREDRIK SANDBERG/SCANPIX SWEDEN/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Breaking down gender roles is a core mission in Sweden’s preschool curriculum Not everyone on board At the Egalia preschool in Stockholm, staff avoid using words like “him” or “her” and address the 33 kids as “friends” rather than girls and boys.

From the colour and placement of toys to the choice of books, every detail has been carefully planned to make sure the children don’t fall into gender stereotypes.

“Society expects girls to be girly, nice and pretty, and boys to be manly, rough and outgoing,” says Jenny Johnsson, a 31-yearold teacher. “Egalia gives them a fantastic opportunity to be whoever they want to be.”

The preschool is among the most radical examples of Sweden’s efforts to engineer equality between the sexes from childhood onward. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Too far?

Some parents worry things have gone too far. An obsession with obliterating gender roles, they say, could make the children confused and ill-prepared to face the world outside kindergarten.

“Different gender roles aren’t problematic as long as they are equally valued,” says Tanja Bergkvist, a 37year-old blogger and a leading voice against what she calls “gender madness” in Sweden.

Those bent on shattering gender roles “say there’s a hierarchy where everything that boys do is given higher value, but I wonder who decides that it has higher value,” she says.

“Why is there higher value in playing with cars?”

In this file photo, children play in the garden of Egalia, a Swedish preschool aiming at gender stereotypes, in Stockholm on June 20. The taxpayer-funded school opened last year in the liberal Sodermalm district for kids aged one to six.

Calgary teen to be youngest space traveller?

THE CANADIAN PRESS/BEBETO MATTHEWS, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A Canadian teen could become the youngest person ever to go into space.

The 17-year-old Calgary boy is among hundreds of space tourists who have already reserved their place for a flight into the cosmos.

So far, 440 individuals have paid deposits for trips aboard billionaire Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic spaceships and are waiting for final tests to be

completed.

The teenager didn’t want to be identified.

While many teenagers expect to get their driver’s licence when they turn 16, travel agent Michael Broadhurst says the young Calgarian was already looking beyond the horizon.

“He had the money for the space trip put down for him when he was 16,” Broadhurst said. “He’s 17

Israel under fire for media-ban threat Israel yesterday threatened to ban international journalists for up to a decade if they join a flotilla planning to breach the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip.

The warning reflected Israeli jitters about the international flotilla, which comes just over a year after a similar mission ended in the deaths of nine Turkish activists in clashes with Israeli naval commandos.

Israel is eager to avoid a repeat of last year’s raid, which drew heavy international condemnation and ultimately forced Israel to ease its blockade on Hamas-controlled Gaza. Israel says the blockade is needed to prevent Hamas from smuggling weapons into the territory.

The Foreign Press Association, which represents hundreds of journalists working for international news organizations in Is-

rael and the Palestinian territories, condemned the Israeli decision and urged

now and he will fly at 18.

“He is actually the only one at the moment who is under 18 on the list.”

Virgin Galactic won’t fly anyone under 18.

The travel agent says it could be another year or two before the teenager, who will be accompanied by a parent, will actually fly, but in the meantime his family doesn’t want him doing any interviews.

The Space Today website says Russian cosmonaut Gherman Titov was the youngest person ever to go to orbit. He flew in August 1961 at the age of 25.

According to Virgin Galactic, 23 Canadians — 17 men and six women — are among the space voyagers who have reserved a flight, which costs $200,000 US for each traveller.

Determined Filipino family ignores skeptics to succeed in Canada When Erick Alfonso meets immigrants who feel overwhelmed, he gives them hope by telling his own family’s story. In fact, the Manila native and his wife achieved personal success in a remarkably short time, by ignoring skeptics who scoffed at their Canadian dreams.

Erick also gives pep talks on job searches, based on his experience and that of his wife’s, Maria Rosario, who within a year moved from a temporary accounting job to accounting manager with a local ďŹ rm.

“We didn’t do anything special, but we were determined. By believing in ourselves and supporting each other, we got through each difďŹ culty,â€? says Erick. “It is possible‌ If you show what you can do, you can build the right connections and open the door to a new life in “They told us that you need Canadian experience Canada.â€? to find a job,â€? recalls the former IT project THIS ADVERTORIAL IS PREPARED BY SCOTIABANK. manager at a Philippine bank. “But we decided to try because we knew it was a good country to raise our kids.â€?

Now working as a Manager of Customer Service at Scotiabank in Calgary, Alberta, Erick remembers how friends discouraged them from migrating to Canada with their ďŹ ve young children.

Now established as a Scotiabank Manager, Erick Alfonso welcomes other new Canadians to his branch.

Upon arrival in Canada in 2006, the Alfonsos discovered that many Filipino compatriots were juggling low paying jobs to survive. While Erick also took a temporary factory job to pay the bills, he refused to give up hope. “A friend told me to open my ďŹ rst bank account at Scotiabank, and the teller was so helpful that I decided to submit my resumĂŠ,â€? recounts Erick.

To his amazement, the branch manager hired him within a month as a casual teller, and two months later, gave him a full-time customer support role. “I was lucky that Scotiabank gave me the chance to prove myself,� notes Erick, who has risen through the ranks and now serves many Asian customers at Calgary’s Castleridge Centre Branch. “I can relate to them because I remember arriving with no bank account and no permanent address.

The Scotiabanker explained everything to me, and I try to do the same for others today.�

For example, Erick recommends the Scotiabank StartRight Program for Newcomers, which includes a free day-to-day bank account for one year , a wide range of VISA card options and a number of other customized services and benefits. He also provides plenty of ďŹ rst-hand ďŹ nancial advice. ÂŽ

“Since many newcomers arrive with personal savings, I help them invest their savings wisely, including short-term investments such as a TaxFree Savings Account (TFSA), which lets them earn tax-free income that they can access later for other needs,� says Erick.

He also explains the importance of building a Canadian credit history. “Some newcomers are afraid to use credit cards, but I tell them how it can help them achieve other goals if they use it responsibly.�

Grads pressured to work for free Unpaid internships have taken the place of entry-level jobs Some positions illegal, experts say HANDOUT/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Young Canadians eager to launch their careers say they’re under mounting pressure to take unpaid internships that promise valuable experience and a foot in the door but rarely lead to permanent work.

Unpaid internships are replacing entry-level jobs, experts say, propelled in part by the recession.

But some of these positions are illegal, says Andrew Langille, an employment lawyer in Toronto, because interns are doing work typically performed by paid employees, he says.

Heather Bellingham, 26, has held a string of unpaid internships.

Many young grads, while willing to pay their dues at the office, say

they can’t afford to work for free, particularly while saddled with student loans.

“There’s people who say young people expect everything right now, they want this great-paying job,” says Heather Bellingham, a 26-year-old from Oshawa, Ont., who has held a string of unpaid internships since graduating from a film and television college program.

“I don’t expect a lot — I would love minimum wage.”

URBAN COMPASS

It was June of 2004 when I sat in a stuffy campaign office on Portage Avenue with a bunch of other political nerds. At the head of the COLIN FAST table was newly declared METRO WINNIPEG mayoral candidate Sam Katz. The question from the group was simple: What’s the plan, Sam? As I recall, Katz shared some general thoughts about making the city more exciting, running government like a business and sparking economic activity. The only specific issue he addressed was mosquito fogging, saying, “I think we can do something better there.”

Not exactly a detailed policy agenda, but the man had just jumped into the race. Besides, everyone at the table thought the dynamism and vision he showed in his business career could make up for a lack of experience at city hall.

So on the occasion of his seventh anniversary as mayor, it seems like a good time to review the progress made on those “He’s contracted early priorities. out garbage It’s clear to anyone that collection and Winnipeg has become a eliminated some more dynamic city over the past seven years. There bureaucratic red are new buildings, new entape, but ergy and new residents all Winnipeg is still around. But Katz’s role in far from a model the revitalization has really been more about of highstaying out of the way performance rather than leading the charge. management.”

After all, it was Glen Murray who got the ball rolling on Waterfront Drive. Gail Asper secured the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. Barry Rempel developed a new airport.

Mark Chipman built MTS Centre and brought the NHL back to town.

To be fair, Katz has instituted tax credits for downtown housing and made a major investment in cycling infrastructure. He also directed millions into recreation facilities, but most of that came from cancelling rapid transit (before it was re-announced, before it was delayed again, rinse and repeat).

He’s contracted out garbage collection and eliminated some bureaucratic red tape, but Winnipeg is still far from a model of high-performance management.

On the economic front, Katz has trimmed business taxes but hasn’t yet articulated a comprehensive economic-development strategy.

As for the mosquitoes, well, wait a week and then tell me if you think we’re “doing something better.”

All of which points to the underlying issue.

Although he’s handily won three elections and been in power longer than either Glen Murray or Susan Thompson, it’s still not entirely clear why Katz wanted to be mayor in the first place.

So, after seven years, I think it’s only fair to ask once again: What’s the plan, Sam? Colin Fast is a corporate communicator who blogs about life in Winnipeg at policyfrog.com

And so to spite him, I am holding the premiere in Moscow.”

At the global press junket it was the irresistible John Malkovich who received the most attention from the Russian press; Malkovich has registered a stream of visits to the country that he almost considered a part of Rus-

sia’s movie stardom. This time, the 57-year-old arrived in the company of a certain lady and two children.

“What will you show your kids in Moscow?” one reporter asked.

Malkovich laughed off the question, preferring not to reveal too many secrets.

“I didn’t know that my kids were here,” he said with a wry smile. “But if you see them around in the city, please tell them to urgently call me!”

But the Muscovite media circus wasn’t done with their quizzing. Everyone was interested to know if Bay was not afraid in shooting the third

Transformers movie, after the second had been labeled worst movie of the year in many circles. “I find this particular question offensive, but nevertheless, I will thrive to answer it,” Bay began.

“Millions flocked to the theatres to see the second movie — not bad for the ‘worst movie of the year,’ right?”

Then Bay parries the question. “It’s interesting — will the ‘best movie of the year’ be able to brag about something similar?

As for the third movie, thanks to many innovations, has in my view turned out to be even better.”'

Of the duo, LaBeouf says “Megan and Rosie are completely different. I like them both. We miss Megan, but with Rosie we have a completely different role, and she has handled herself excellently!”

Huntington-Whiteley says she was thrilled to get the role. “I was ecstatic when they invited me to play in the movie. Everyone there was simply wonderful! They all helped so much!”

Bollywood dazzles Canadian fans CHRIS YOUNG/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Pixar Animation remains undefeated at the box office.

The Disney unit’s animated sequel Cars 2 cruised to a No. 1 finish with a $68 million opening weekend.

That makes 12 wins in a row for Pixar since 1995’s Toy Story.

Cars 2 nearly matched the $68.1 million debut of Disney-Pixar’s Up two years ago, though it was well below the company’s record of $110.3 million for 2010’s Toy Story 3.

Premiering in second-place was Cameron Diaz’s classroom comedy Bad Teacher with $31 million.

Stressed & pregnant As the pregnant wife of disgraced U.S. congressman Anthony Weiner, Huma Abedin has had a long few weeks It got us wondering: How does extreme stress affect one’s baby-to-be?

When pregnant, how much stress is too much?

SAM CASTONE

LIFE@METRONEWS.CA METRO WORLD NEWS

U.S. congressman Anthony Weiner recently resigned from office after sending lewd comments and photos to young women — and lying about it after getting caught by the press.

It was a shocking fall for a brash but effective politician — shocking more so because his wife, Huma Abedin, an aide to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, is reportedly in the early stages of pregnancy.

As parents, we won-

“Extreme stress in pregnancy can lead to preterm delivery and low birth weight babies. And there may even be some evidence that it can lead to miscarriage.”

DR. ARI BROWN, PEDIATRICIAN AND CO-AUTHOR OF EXPECTING 411

dered what affect the ongoing stress of a scandal might have on her baby.

All the mom-to-be books say you should try to reduce stress during the nine months. “It takes extreme amounts of stress to affect a pregnancy,” says Dr. Ari Brown, a pediatrician and co-author of Expecting 411.

“By extreme, this means

divorce, death of a family member, major financial disaster or loss of home by fire. The day-to-day stresses of a job or home life that most of us experience is not enough to worry about.”

Depending on your perspective, Weiner’s behaviour might fall into the “extreme” category.

“We all process stressful situations differently,” says Brown. “In the case of this particular situation, it is surely stressful for any pregnant woman to endure the emotional infidelity of her husband both privately and publicly.

“But, it would only be pure speculation how the two of them are handling this in the context of their relationship. And, frankly, it is none of our business!”

“What we do know medically,” Brown continues, “is that extreme stress in pregnancy can lead to preterm delivery and low birth weight babies. And

there may even be some evidence that it can lead to miscarriage.”

One study in 2008 showed there might be a link between maternal stress and schizophrenia later in life.

“Stress increases the release of a hormone called cortisol, which is currently being investigated as the link to miscarriage, preterm labour, and unfortunate pregnancy outcomes,” says Brown.

The moral of this story (and you don’t need a medical study to prove it): If you’re a father-to-be, don’t cheat on your wife!

The not-so-sinful deviled eggs MATTHEW MEAD/ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This healthy version of the summer picnic and barbecue staple makes it more angelic than devilish Devilled eggs are a classic accompaniment to summer picnics and barbecues.

But they generally are loaded with fat and calories from the egg yolks and mayonnaise.

We set out to remake the filling to be flavourful, yet pack significantly less guilt. Egg yolks do have great nutritional value; the majority of an egg's vitamins and minerals are actually found in the yolk.

But along with those nutrients are plenty of fat and cholesterol.

To lower the fat and cholesterol but keep the luscious flavour, we opted to use just some of the yolks. For the creaminess, we use a combo of low-fat mayonnise and pureed

low-fat cottage cheese..

Preparation:

1

2

Place eggs in a large saucepan and fill with cool water. Cover pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove pan from heat and let sit for 15 minutes.

Drain hot water, leaving eggs in pan. Fill pan with cold water and a cup of ice. Let eggs cool completely.

Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine cottage cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar and horseradish. Purée until smooth. Set aside.

Prep time: 45 mins.

Makes: 24 halves

Ingredients: • 12 large eggs • Ice • 125 ml (1/2 cup) low-fat cottage cheese • 45 ml (3 tbsp) low-fat mayonnaise • 15 ml (1 tbsp) Dijon mustard • 10 ml (2 tsp) cider vinegar • 15 ml (1 tbsp) prepared horseradish • 15 ml (1 tbsp) sweet pickle relish • Salt and ground black pepper, to taste • Fresh chives, to garnish • Smoked paprika, to garnish

Peel eggs but keep them intact. Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Retain egg

Low fat mayo and low-fat cottage cheese make these deviled eggs less fattening.

whites. Discard half of the yolks.

4

In a medium bowl, mash remaining yolks. Add puréed dressing mixture

and relish. Stir to combine, then season with salt and black pepper.

Using a pastry bag or a zip-close bag with the corner cut off, or using a

spoon, refill wells in the egg whites. Garnish tops with a sprinkle of smoked paprika and some chopped chives.

Gardening economics ISTOCK PHOTOS

Rising food prices, food safety concerns keep gardening boom going How to learn from it Many of the millions of North Americans who turned to gardening to save money during the recession appear to be sticking with it during the recovery as food prices remain high and interest in safe, fresh and local food grows nationwide.

Forty-three million U.S. households planned to grow at least some of their own food in 2009, a 19 per cent increase from the estimated 36 million who did the year before, said the National Gardening Association, citing the most recent figures available.

Spending on food gardening — including growing vegetables, fruit trees, berries and herbs — jumped 20 per cent in one year to $3 billion in 2009 and stayed at that level last year, said Bruce Butterfield, research director for the non-profit association.

“It’s a perfect storm for food gardening,” Butterfield said, noting the downturn coincided with growing interest nationwide in eating locally produced food.

While the recession started in December 2007, he said the economy really “tanked” at the end of 2008, fuelling the gardening boom the following year. Butterfield said he expects the trend to continue with the U.S. Department

New careers And for some people, gardening has provided a new career path.

Green path Chef Courtney Contos, 37, a Vermont resident, said it was natural for her to start growing her own vegetables and herbs three years ago because she was always searching for the best-tasting ingredients. But having seen the savings and with the economy still struggling, she now hopes to teach others how to grow, preserve and cook their own vegetables.

of Agriculture’s switch from a food pyramid representing its nutritional guidelines to a plate encouraging people to eat more fruits and vegetables, and people spending more time at home, either because they’re unemployed or avoiding expensive vacations.

“A lot of folks, I think they kind of look at the evening news or read the paper or read something online, saying ‘Jesus, this world is out of control and I can’t have any influence on what happens out there but, by God, I can control what happens in my backyard,’” he said.

Harvesting your own food can help save money.

Seed supplier W. Atlee Burpee & Co. said its sales of vegetable seeds and starter plants have jumped substantially in the past several years, with 30 per cent growth in 2009, 15 per cent to 20 per cent growth last year and another bump in March. The company based in Warminster, Pa., speculated recent rises in gas and produce prices have

prompted more people to try to save money by growing their own food.

Ann Janda, 43, of Hinesburg, Vt., estimated gardening saves her and her husband $75 a month on groceries about eight months out of the year.

They rarely buy any vegetables from June to August, relying on their five-by-16-metre garden to feed them. In the fall, they

use tomato preserves for a lot of what they cook, and they freeze and can vegetables to use in the winter – everything from pickles to tomato sauce, frozen peas, pesto and kale.

Janda, who planted her first garden when she moved out of the city four years ago, said it’s easy to “overspend” on supplies and equipment, but she and her husband try to do

it as cheaply as possible.

They use dead elm saplings from nearby woods as stakes, start most of their plants from seeds in reusable pots and trade seedlings with other gardeners.

Their tools are a spade, shovel and hoe, and their landlord tills the garden for them in exchange for vegetables later on.

HOW TO DEAL WITH INJURED WILDLIFE Recently I found a baby bird struggling on the ground. I wasn’t sure if I should save it from neighbourhood cats or if a human scent would bother the parents? I left it alone. Brendan of Winnipeg

QUEEN OF GREEN LINDSAY COULTER GREEN@METRONEWS.CA

Sounds like a young fledgling if it was a baby bird with feath-

ers, not naked. You did the right thing.

Fledglings often fall from their nests when learning how to fly.

They can spend up to a day or two on the ground.

They’re best left alone because the parents are probably keeping a close watch nearby.

If you heard chirping

coming from the trees, that was likely mom and dad cheering it on from the rafters!

If you think a baby bird is in danger from prowling cats or speeding cars, put it back in the nest.

And don’t worry. Unlike with baby mammals, your scent won’t bother the parents.

Can’t find the nest and not sure if it’s truly orphaned? In this case, it’s best to call your local wildlife rescue or rehabilitation centre.

Generally, if you come across a sick or injured wild animal, it’s recommended you don’t try to capture it.

And don’t pet or talk to

the animal either.

That just creates more stress. Instead, call the closest wildlife rehabilitation facility.

Their trained staff can provide humane care to injured, orphaned, sick and distressed wildlife.

About 80 per cent of the time, wild animals that are turned in have

been hurt by human activity, such as collisions with cars or power lines, or encounters with cats and dogs.

Never handle a wild animal if it puts your safety at risk.

One career for a lifetime?

The film Larry Crowne paints a picture of a man who’s forced to pursue an entirely different career path after losing his job Former Associated Press journalist Jessica Mintz explains why she made the decision to start over CONTRIBUTED

We all have those moments: The alarm goes off, and we think, “Do I really have to go to work today?”

Most of the time, reason and routine win. We dismiss the thought, hop out of bed, hit the shower, have a coffee and merge into the morning commute.

Sometimes, though, we stop and really consider the question. Maybe we’re burned out or unhappy with the job. Maybe we had abandoned a childhood dream or found a new passion along the way. And thanks to luck, financial planning and the support of loved ones – or maybe just a high tolerance for risk – we realize: Quitting is an option.

When I tell people I quit my job as a reporter for The Associated Press to become a veterinarian – that I am taking the first of a zillion pre-vet science classes in a plan that now extends into the year 2020 – many say they wish they could take that plunge.

I think the reason so many don’t is that it’s painful to admit we made a mistake. And quitting, well, isn’t that just another word for failing?

In my case, my experience with animals was limited to childhood pets.

Recently, however, I adopted a mutt from the shelter and started volunteering there. When she was hurt in an accident, I spent a lot

of time talking to surgeons and rehab specialists.

That’s when the idea of ditching the career I had pursued for more than a decade took hold.

I found countless reasons to doubt my motives.

Was I mistaking the pleasure of a new hobby for a calling? Would I be trading the petty complaints about one job for similar gripes about another?

Changing careers is not uncommon, as it turns out; Americans typically do it five to seven times in their lives, and increasingly, they are seeking more meaningful work, said Kimberly Key, president of the National Employment Counseling Association.

Tom Hanks plays Larry Crowne, a man who undergoes a mid-life personal reinvention.

“You didn’t see this 25 to 50 years ago. People weren’t trying to have meaningful careers. They were trying to focus on family, survive, and take care of the next genera-

tions,” Key said. “As we evolved as a society, in our thirst for work, to survive, to grow, to be the best, to compete in the world, we lost something.”

Jobs that offer lifelong

security and benefits are becoming endangered, Key said. Rather than see this as a negative, though, she thinks accepting it can remove the stress of changing careers. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

hopes for the future.

In Canada for only a year, the Bouji family suffered a tragic loss when their four-year-old daughter drowned in a swimming pool accident.

Sam was devastated but realized he had to change his life if he were to save his family.“I will never forget but I had to move forward.”

Sam threw himself into

work with a vengeance, starting his own sales agency in his basement, amassing a huge salesforce and eventually establishing Global Education Marketing Corp.

Today, his company services 250,000 clients, but his proudest achievement is the 15,000 young people who have graduated from university and college with no debt.

“It brings me so much joy when I see my employees helping others and making changes in other people’s lives.”

Sam Bouji’s story is a triumph over tragedy and a true testament to the power of the human spirit.

“The older I get the more productive and wiser I become. I’m not retiring until 2053. That’s the year I turn 100!”

Sam’s advice Come up with a plan, be patient and always persevere.

People who think they can outsmart others in life will not make it.

Help others achiever their goals.

WINNIPEG

LINCOLN

The Winnipeg Goldeyes’ bats have been hot as of late, and the trend continued yesterday afternoon as they completed the series sweep of the Lincoln Saltdogs with a 14-3 win in front of 6,531 at Shaw Park.

The Fish lit up Lincoln starter John James for eight runs in less than five innings of work.

James, who was 5-1 with a 5.05 ERA coming into yesterday, took the loss.

The nail in James’ coffin was a towering tworun Justin Bass smash to left, making it 8-0 through five.

Now 25-17 overall, and 12-11 on the road, the Goldeyes can attribute much of their success this season to their defensive play.

Winnipeg’s arms rank second in the American Association with a 3.91 team ERA, while a fielding percentage of .978 is tied for first.

The bats seem to pop when needed. Despite a pedestrian .274 team batting average that ranks 11th, Winnipeg is undefeated in its last 10 when scoring more than five runs.

Recent signing Brian Joynt added insult to injury as he tore the cover off a 2-2 pitch in the eighth for a grand slam.

The win puts Winnipeg atop the AA’s North Division, leapfrogging the St. Paul Saints.

The Goldeyes now visit Kansas City for a midweek trio before returning home for a crucial four-game series against St. Paul, which begins Saturday.

And then simply for effect, Canada’s star striker Christine Sinclair blew a kiss to her coach.

Sporting a crooked nose and a well-deserved black captain’s armband, Sinclair scored Canada’s lone goal on a lovely bending free kick yesterday as the sixthranked Canadians opened the 2011 Women’s World Cup with a 2-1 loss to twotime defending champion Germany.

“I looked at (Sinclair) — she takes the front post on corners — and thought, ‘Oh my. Her nose is like a big zig-zag,’” said Canada’s

goalkeeper Erin Mcleod. “I said, ‘Do you really want to still be here?’ And she said, ‘Yeah, I got it.’

“She’s tough. She wears the armband for a reason.”

The 28-year-old Sinclair was down on all fours on the Olympiastadion grass for several minutes after the harsh blow, for which no foul was given, and then was helped to the sidelines where she argued with a Canadian medical official to let her go back into the game. She swatted away his hand and said, “I’m fine. Don’t touch me.”

“What do you think? If she played today with the nose broken, do you think I can take her off the field next time?” the Italian coach said with a laugh.

Sinclair was sent to a nearby Berlin hospital immediately after the game, and Morace said she’ll likely wear a protective mask in the next game.
